But the 100 year old tree that was removed (and everything growing on it and in the soil near it) added a lot of CO2 to the air, and it's unlikely that was grows back now will be as rich in biodiversity and CO2 binding capacity than the old one.
- NAHWheatCracker 4y agoForgive me if I misunderstand, but the carbon is in the 100 year old tree and when it's cut down and turned into something it's still there. So that carbon is sitting the walls of a house, furniture, or sheafs of paper, isn't it? Disregarding cutting the tree down to just burn it for heat, obviously.
- Scarblac 4y agoYes, if it's in a house or furniture it will be safe for a while longer.
